"Phillipe is an exceptional driver and tour guide for Nice and the surrounding areas. My daughter and I hired Phillipe to take us up to the pre-Alps to visit some perched villages. I expected him just to drive us and we would visit until he took us back to Nice. Instead, Phillipe went above and beyond and planned the entire route, including making us reservations at a delicious, small village restaurant and Acted as our tour guide in every single village! We had a great day together. He is kind, funny and incredibly respectful. Very informative and flexible. He even came to our rescue on the day we were flying out when we needed a last-minute drive to the airport. I would highly recommend him. We had an amazing afternoon together."
